Adding the fourth node to the cluster with an empty schema using auto_bootstrap was not successful. A nodetool netstats on the new node shows "Mode: Joining: getting bootstrap token" similar to what the third node did before it was manually added. Also, there are no exceptions in the logs but it never joins the ring.

I would be very interested to see how the addition of the 4th node went. Please post it whenever you get a chance. Thanks!

My log entries look similar to yours. I took the new token it says its going to use from the log file added it to the yaml and turned off auto bootstrap and the node added fine. I'm bringing up a 4th node now and will see if it has the same problem auto bootstrapping. ________________________________ From: Sanjeev Kulkarni [sanj...@locomatix.com<mailto:sanj...@locomatix.com>] Sent: Thursday, May 05, 2011 2:18 AM To: user@cassandra.apache.org<mailto:user@cassandra.apache.org> Subject: New node not joining Hey guys, I'm running into what seems like a very basic problem. I have a one node cassandra instance. Version 0.7.5. Freshly installed. Contains no data. The cassandra.yaml is the same as the default one that is supplied, except for data/commitlog/saved_caches directories. I also changed the addresses to point to a externally visible ip address. The cassandra comes up nicely and is ready to accept thrift connections. I do a nodetool and this is what I get. 10.242.217.124 Up Normal 6.54 KB 100.00% 110022862993086789903543147927259579701 Which seems right to me. Now I start another node. Almost identical configuration to the first one. Except the bootstrap is turned true and seeds appropriately set. When I start the second, I notice that the second one contacts the first node to get the new token. I see the following lines in the first machine(the seed machine).

Am I missing anything? Thanks!
